The baffling conceit here is that people in government are angels and people in business are evil. They’re still people, with all the same motivations.

It’s not that I distrust them, it’s just that I’m a lawyer, operations, and finance guy. The source documents would be extremely interesting to me. Instead I get a meaningless graph that tells me almost nothing. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in personal experiences with journalists is that they’re just that, journalists. They don’t have expertise in finance, law, or most anything complex. Let the data be open sourced and mined by actual experts.

These "leaks" are annoying. They just give you a page with virtually no information, just a chart showing some connection. Release everything. Don't insult my intelligence by deciding for me what to release.

I visited Bogota earlier in the year and I fell in love. I seriously considered moving there! I'm going back later this year to spend New Year's in Medellin. The Colombians were unbelievably friendly.

I started taking vitamin d because I have a family history of colon cancer, and it has been shown to reduce such instances. My doctor said it is one of the few vitamin supplements that has strong clinical evidence to support its use. A happy side effect was that vitamin d also nearly totally made my acne go away. I take on 5000IU in the morning and one at night.

Please expand on that. What encryption is vulnerable and what isn't?

Krugman and keynesians think that all (aggregate) demand is equal. Austrian school adherants understand that bubbles are fuelled by central planning and malinvestment.

It works for me. I see his twitter.

I've tried opening a business account. I provided all of the required documentation weeks ago (probably more than a month ago). Still not able to trade. I entered a help ticket a week or so ago and just got a response that they are very busy... Still waiting.

But also see "dormant commerce clause."

Maybe it's time to come visit. :)

Lots of things can be morally right but also be illegal.

I'll try to address a few of these, from memory:

1 - He didn't deny it to the police. He only denied it to the press. Just days before the assassination Kennedy was on the radio making a particularly anti-Cuba speech, which upset Oswald.

2 - The day he assassinated the president, he left all of his cash and his wedding ring in the home his wife was staying, after unexpectedly stopping by the night before to pick up his "curtain rods." When the police arrived at her home, she led them to the garage to show them that his rifle was kept in the garage and lo and behold, it was gone. She herself testified that at that moment she knew he had done it.

3 - I don't think he was in jeopardy of losing his job, but he suddenly had an opportunity to do something "great."

4 - He asked for the ACLU attorney because he knew that attorney also represented the communist party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Abt

I don't know the film you're referring to, but 100% of the available physical evidence points to Oswald.

Hijacking this thread to repeat my comments from another thread:

See also the Hughes film, which pretty convincingly shows "someone" in the Oswald window:

I believe it was much more spontaneous than that. Oswald failed at just about everything he did. He couldn't keep a job, the Soviets didn't want him, no one was interested in his story when he came back to the US, he was disillusioned with Soviet Communism, he wanted to go to Cuba but was denied, and he suddenly had an opportunity to do something big, which he always dreamed he was going to do. Heck, his diary was even self-titled "historical diary." He was a loser with visions of grandeur for himself that always failed to pan out.

Sorry I keep replying on this thread, but more and more of the book is coming back to me. One only needs to read the transcripts of his interviews with the Dallas Police Department after he was arrested. He wasn't acting or talking like an innocent man. He was cocky, self-assured, and calm. He even put up a communist fist when he was being walked out in front of the press.

The two black gentlemen sitting in the window just below oswald testified over and over that they heard the shells hitting the floor just above them.

There is at least one eyewitness that saw Oswald in the window from the ground below.

Firing on the motorcade where he did was an easier shot -- the car was moving away from him and at an angle that made his necessary movement much less than if the motorcade was coming at him.

Connally's testimony, frankly, doesn't matter. The ballistics of the bullet entering Kennedy's upper back, exiting his throat, then entering connally's back and then out his chest lines up perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfSXkfV_mhA

As I state above, there is no evidence that anyone other than Oswald killed the president. Conversely, 100% of the physical evidence tells us Oswald did it.

Of course they knew about him visiting the Russians. There are intercepts from the embassies in Mexico City where the Russians were talking about Oswald. He went to Mexico City to try and get a visa to go to Cuba, which they denied, so he went to the Soviet Embassy to try and get them to convince the Cubans to let him in, since he had previously defected to the Soviet Union. They all saw him as a nut and basically laughed him out.

It's a long story, but basically Oswald "defected" to the Soviet union, realized that they were going to take no interest in him (they put him to work in a radio factory and surveilled him thoroughly), and he got out. He was disillusioned with Soviet communism and later saw Cuba as a "truer" form of communist revolution, so he tried to go there instead. They didn't want him either.

I suspect one reason many files were withheld is that the Mexican government assisted the CIA in tapping the communications of foreign embassies in Mexico City.

Thank you, that sums up a small part of the story very well.

One thing I've learned is that the conspiracy folks lie and frequently take statements out of context. I insist on primary sources. There is so much BS out there in favor of a conspiracy that it's almost hopeless to counter it all. Bugliosi basically does, but it's a shame that few people will read his book.

Another bit of compelling evidence that the president was shot from behind (BTW, ALL of the ballistic trajectories match perfectly with the Oswald window of the school book depository), is this stabilized zapruder film:

I strongly recommend the book "Reclaiming History" by Vincent Bugliosi. It took me over a year to read on and off. It's a national treasure and I wish it could be made freely available online. It's over a thousand pages and includes a CD with thousands more pages in footnotes and endnotes.

I was a die hard conspiracy believer because I grew up in a household where my mom lived through the assassination and she had nearly every conspiracy book available around the house. After reading Bugliosi's book I am absolutely now convinced that Oswald did it alone. Bugliosi's book absolutely devastates all of the conspiracy theories.

I can confidently say that these files will uncover nothing to "prove" otherwise.

There is no evidence that anyone other than Oswald killed the president. Full stop.

If you search around for interviews online with Bugliosi, you can get a feel for the breadth and depth of his work.

Thank you for summing up my feelings. I've been actively moving everything away from Google and Facebook lately. They're just distractions to living a fulfilling life.

Why not just go back to prescribing cocaine instead of Oxy?

I hadn't heard of Rozerem, so I looked it up.

I'd venture to say that in the far majority of american cities public transportation is a net negative. Lots of large, expensive, idling buses belching pollution and providing little useful service.

i.e. price fixing.

> Most reporters aren't knowledgeable enough to distinguish between hype and true breakthroughs.

From personal experience I've learned that few reporters are knowledgeable about anything outside how to be a reporter.

Just another reason for the list I give clients to avoid California when they are considering hiring California residents or having an office in California.
